Mr. Speaker, my supplementary question is for the Prime Minister.
The Minister of National Defence has been caught abusing his budget and breaching Treasury Board guidelines, all to reward campaign pals. Let us look at the facts. Two contracts that the minister issued overlapped and amounted to $50,000. The work for each contract was the same. Last week the deputy secretary of the Treasury Board stated that it is not acceptable to contract split and when it happens, disciplinary action must be taken.
When will the Prime Minister obey the rules set down by Treasury Board and discipline the Minister of National Defence?
